Southern Charm Season 5: Everything We Know

Southern Charm returns on Thursday night. Here's what we can expect from the fifth season.

There will be some new faces in the cast.

Chelsea Meissner, who appeared last season as a guest, officially joins the cast this season. We'll also see Thomas Ravenel's new girlfriend, Ashley Jacobs, who meets Kathryn Dennis (the mother of his two children, Kensington and Saint Julien) for the first time in episode one. That should be ... interesting.

A few of the cast members are newly single.

Naomie Olindo and Craig Conover broke up, as did Austen Kroll and Chelsea Meissner. In the season's trailer, we see Austen try to flirt with some young women with the line, "Let me explain the rules of polo to you. Naomie is also returning to the screen with a new nose, having gone under the knife earlier this year.

Craig is still sewing.

"You sit home and you sew and you pretend to do things," Naomie tells him in a clip. "What's wrong with my sewing?" he replies.

We'll get to follow along with Cameran Eubanks's pregnancy.

The trailer reveals a very pregnant Cameran driving with Shep Rose, doing pre-birth exercises with Whitney Sudler-Smith, and getting an ultrasound of her baby girl.

Women's empowerment will be a theme.

"We're all we've got," Naomie tells her girlfriends in a preview clip. "We're not going to screw each other over, we're not going to do all this stuff that guys will do over and over again and be cool with it.

"It's just a good moment," Chelsea says. "Women empowerment."

Patricia Altschul is still the reason to watch.

The trailer saves the best for last. We see the grande dame announce at a white-tie party, "On that note I think I'll leave."

Tune in for the season premiere on Thursday, April 5 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
